مشروع إعداد التقارير بين الصين وأفريقيا (المشروع) في Wits Journalism and partner China House are inviting journalists to submit proposals for two opportunities: Africa-China audio/visual reporting grants or investigative reporting grants with total budgets of around US$3,000 per grant. See كيفية تطبيق أدناه و مجالات التركيز المحتملة in the appendix for examples of previous topics.

The Project provides capacity building and facilitation in the form
of reporting grants, workshops and other opportunities for journalists
to investigate complex dynamics and uncover untold stories. The Project
encourages journalists to emphasize on-the-ground impact and
perspectives to illustrate how the lives of the people of Africa are
changing amid the comprehensive phenomenon of Africa-China interactions (more about the Africa-China Reporting Project).

China House is a social enterprise established in 2014 that sends
young people from China to Africa for research and community projects,
and that provides research services for international organizations on
projects that focus on sustainable development and Chinese investment
practices in Africa (more about China House).

The Project is seeking applications from journalists for two different types of reporting grants:

Audio/visual reporting grants: For audio or video
reporting projects by journalists established at media houses and
preferably with the necessary equipment readily available, as the grant
will likely not be sufficient to cover hiring of equipment and full
production costs

Investigative reporting grants: For print and/or
online investigations by journalists working at media houses as well as
freelance journalists. Preference will be given to applicants able to
include established publishing platforms and the involvement of
investigating or other partners in their proposals

This is the first time that the Project has opened a call
specifically for audio/visual reporting grants; in 2018 the Project
launched the first call for investigative reporting grants.
Via this call for both audio/visual and investigative reporting grants
the Project seeks to promote dynamic storytelling and reporting of
Africa-China investigations focusing on specific issues that are in the
public interest and have a relevance to China’s and Chinese interests’
roles, activities and impact in Africa. The Project encourages
journalists to submit proposals that aim to bring to light fresh and
nuanced investigations with new findings about complex Africa-China
relations, and if possible that involves other partners and institutions
who can collaborate on and expand the investigations (the Project can
potentially assist applicants to form partnerships with investigating
partners in Asia and elsewhere). Of importance is for applicants to
present fresh and important ideas and a feasible plan to carry them out.

Proposal for story to be investigated, with a clear proposed
headline at the start and a brief report of WHAT will be investigated
and HOW, including a detailed methodology for how and where the
investigation will be undertaken

Audio/visual reporting proposals should include a draft production storyboard to support the methodology

An indication of where the investigation will be published or aired,
and which partners if any will be used or required and how this will
expand the investigation

A detailed budget with specific line items totalling as much as US$3,000
